19 Weeks, 4 days...The Eternal Question

I got to thinking today. Reflecting on the eternal question: "Why?" As a child this was my favorite line of questioning. For every order given, task assigned, comment made, or truth given there needed to be a reason for it. "Why" was the opportunity to justify all of these things. Then, of course, there was the obligitory "why" to follow the justifying reason. "Because I said so" simply wasn't the answer I was looking for. "Why" was my way to challenge the order of things, to break up monotony, and to question authority. In my reasoning I was turning things around to make it suit my purpose to do whatever was asked by having a reason for doing it. I didn't like to just do things because someone said so. Like I really had a choice in the matter. Today I do not like to be asked "Why" at all. I have heard that to stop the "Why's" many people follow things with an "OK?" Then the child answers back "OK!" Maybe in my wisdom from a former "Why" asker, I can somehow use this reverse psychology on you.
